Trump: Clinton security should remove weapons read more at here www.spinonews.com/index.php/item/877-trump-clinton-security-should-remove-weapons

Mr. Trump’s comments were about reactive widely condemned remarks he made in early August at a campaign rally in Wilmington, N.C. There he seriously suggested that gun rights supporters should rise up against Mrs. Clinton if she were elected to stop her from appointing judges who might favor stricter gun regulation.

Donald J. Trump once again raised the fear of violence against Hillary Clinton, suggesting Friday that the Secret Service agents who guard her voluntarily disarm to “see what happens to her” without their protection.

I think that her bodyguards should drop all weapons Mr. Trump said at a rally in Miami, to loud applause. I think they should disarm. Immediately.

He went on: “Let’s see what happens to her. Take their guns away, O.K. It’ll be very dangerous.

In justifying his remarks, Mr. Trump falsely claimed that Mrs. Clinton wants to “destroy your Second Amendment,” apparently a reference to her gun control policies.

Presidential nominees are protected at all times by heavily armed teams of Secret Service agents, some uniformed and some undercover, who are devoted to the candidates’ physical safety.

Mr Trump's remarks echoed a controversial speech last month which many Democrats condemned as a call for Mrs Clinton's assassination.

It was the culmination of a rocky and unpredictable day for Mr. Trump, and diverted attention, for a moment at least, from his grudging admission of error when he finally conceded that President Obama was born in the United States.

On Friday night, breaking from his prepared remarks and turning his gaze from the teleprompters, Mr. Trump looked straight into the crowd as he made the insinuation about Mrs. Clinton’s safety.

He gestured emphatically with his hands as he spoke, at one time pointing to a member in the crowd to find agreement.

Mrs Clinton has called for tighter gun control laws but has also stressed her support for the second amendment, telling the Democratic Party Convention in July I'm not here to take away your guns.

The Trump camp later said he was referring to action through the ballot box, not violence.

Mr. Trump never apologized or disavowed the comments, despite angry denunciations from Mrs. Clinton’s running mate, Senator Tim Kaine of Virginia, and groups like the Brady Campaign and the Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence.
